I have been looking through Green's carear stats, and there is one stat that this year is higher than it usually is, and that is Stolen Bases. So far this year, Green has stolen 9 bases through 89 games. He hasnt stolen 9 or more bases since 2001, when he stole 21 bases.
So what should be his expected stolen base amount thru these 89 games?
Well in 1910 games played, he has stolen 160 bases, or apx .0838 stolen bases a game. That rate, thru 89 games, puts him at 7.456 stolen bases on the season. Right now he has 9, so he is slightly above his expected amount.
So its not really significant (although there is another test that could be done to determine that, I might at a later point), but its slightly better, so thats a positive.
This got me thinking, what about Jose Reyes?
Reyes in 545 games, has stolen 208 bases, for a rate of .3817 a game.
This year he has played in 109 games, so when that is applied to the rate, his expected total should be around 41.6, and he has 52, so he is stealing ahead of his expected pace. (But we already knew that).
Also, Wagner is only 9 strikeouts away from 1000.
